McManus and Larry Campion were tried
on a charge of petit larceny, preferred by
A. Brewer. A few days ago two men were
out riding in boat belonging to Brewer,
when they accidentally capsized the craft,
and were clinging to her when two resi-
dents of Washington put off in boat and
rescued them. The capsized boat was left
adrift, and in course of time was picked up
by McManus and Campion, who, finding
that it belonged to Brewer, took it to the
place where he keeps his boats, and then
went to his place of business and suggested
that they be paid salvage. Brewer refused,
holding that the men who had hired the
boat and been capsiZed in it should pay.
He then directed an employee to go down
and lock the boat up, but McManus and
Campion got to the craft in advance and
took it away, announcing their intention
of keeping it until they were paid. There
upon Brewer had them arrested for lar
ceny. After hearing the testimony the
Court took the matter under adj
visement until this morning. Mrs.

the peace of Sarah Smith, neighbOr, by
Of
using bad language. She was found guilty
and fined $40, but gave notice Of intention
to appeal.

attempt to commit felony at Folsom, will
be transferred TO Department One, and
